Stratford High School students' work accepted by Google Earth

Students in Michael Eason's computer programming/web page design programs are busy making news:

The first building accepted into Google Earth from our Moncks Corner History and Web project is the old Berkeley High School. The 3D model was created by Nicholette Alonge, Stratford High School class of 2012. If you open Google Earth (or Google Maps) and search for 107 East Main Street, Moncks Corner, SC, it should take you directly above our 3D building (and flag pole). Zoom in, change the angle a little, and you will see the 3D model. Our web page for this building is http://www.michaeleason.net/mcproject/oldberkeleyhs.htm. Nicholette is still working on the history of the building and it should be finished soon.

The second building project recently accepted with Google Earth is the old train depot at 100 Behrman Street, Moncks Corner. This model was created by Dylan Campbell who graduated earlier this year. Behrman Street

Dylan graduated June 2011 and is employed by Bosch and was recently accepted into their apprenticeship program.

Feel free to check out the rest of the web site ( http://www.michaeleason.net/mcproject/ ) for other building projects we are completing: The Cherry Hill Community Center and the Berkeley County Court House. Each student is also working on the building's history.

On another note, as of today, all students working on this project have become Adobe Certified Associates in Dreamweaver.

The students have also been busy working on a video. They have recorded interviews with several descendants of Moncks Corner's first public school teacher Annie Hare McCants (she first taught in the Guilds House and was later principal at the old high school building). The students are editing the video to include images of various historical buildings. The video includes interviews with a grandson, a great-granddaughter, and a great-great-granddaughter (all graduates of BHS). A great-great-grandson, current freshman at BHS, was also interviewed. In addition, we are talking with a teacher at Berkeley Elementary about interviewing some of her students.

We hope you will access all information regarding the students' 3D models of the Depot and the Old Berkeley High School at http://www.michaeleason.net/mcproject/buildings.htm. The 3D models are visible in Google Earth (turn on 3D Buildings) and in Google Maps (select Earth view rather than Map or Satellite). The historical information is visible on our web site and in Google Earth, but not in Google Maps.
